and I just want to give folks some really positive news.
Hang in there!
I've been retired for a year and it's awesome:
- after years of anti-depressants I no longer take them and feel great
- after years of self-medicating with alcohol I no longer WANT to drink
- after years of wondering why I was the odd person at work who actually took pride in his work I now realize it was my lazy, toxic co-workers who I allowed to infect my head
- I now hang out with awesome, supportive friends and am living the dream.
Hang in there folks, it gets better!

I simply don’t get why a women would want to get her labia surgically trimmed back. Don’t you know that most dudes are thrilled just to see one and they come in all different shapes and sizes (and your is likely REALLY sexy as is). It personally gets me hot. Own it you sexy girl!

Even as someone who was born and raised here, I have a hard time making friends. All the long time friends I have are busy with a family, and/or are not very active. I am very active and most people can't keep up with me. I end up doing a lot of things alone. I feel so lonely. Most of the time my guy friends are up for something, but some female friends who are too would be nice.

I wish my wife understood that sometimes I don’t want to have sex because I am emotionally drained. I don’t have space for anyone else’s needs (usually only for a short while). It has nothing to with her or my attraction to her. I am happy to help her climax but if she is looking to connect or something more than physical release(sometimes that is all I want as well) I may need an hour after work to decompress or time where I don’t feel I am needed or something is wanted of me.
Does anyone know how to stop doing emotional labour at work? What do you do in those few moments when your needs are in complete opposition with someone you love?

As a dude with girlfriends, I'm getting tired of hanging out with them only to hear constant complaining. Job, boyfriend, friends, money etc. It's just this high pitched loud complaining. I try to say nothing and just nod my head and be an understanding ear to hear what they have to say. But it's getting old, really old. One day I will snap, or I'll just stop seeing them. I can't remember the last time they even asked about me. Guess that's why I'm the nice guy, for now.
